'The untold story of how 22 Marines held off hundreds of Argentinians and disabled a warship on the eve of the Falklands war' THE DAILY MAIL 'Hero reveals Falklands very own 'Rorke's Drift'... told for the first time by one of the men involved' THE DAILY TELEGRAPHBritish Commando George Thomsen's action-filled account of combat during the Falklands War. Seen through the eyes of Section Commander George Thomsen, this inspiring first-hand account, tells of the tension-packed lead up, and the heroic stand, by a tiny band of brothers on one of the most inhospitable islands on the planet - South Georgia. They fought alone - besieged, isolated, and against an overwhelming invasion force - and yet had the enemy reeling on the ropes. This is the story of true British grit, sheer bloody-mindedness, professionalism and ingenuity. The Royal Marines' courageous action on that extraordinary day changed the balance of the South Atlantic war. This was a modern-day Rorke's Drift when world events literally took too few too far. Twenty-five years after these events took place, this is George Thomsen's true story, as told to Malcolm Angel.The Kindle Edition of 'Too Few, Too Far: The True Story of a Royal Marine Commando' includes 35 illustrations (19 colour)
